Water Intelligence Share Discussion Threads

Well, apart from being involved in the water business, Veolia is not very similar at all. It seems to be UK focussed and mainly involved with water infrastucture. It offers a multitude of technologies, but none of them seem leak focussed from what I can see.

May/17/23   FY 2022 Earnings Release (Projected)


Apparently strong support at 640p

Some think the current share price should be more than doubled

TIME WILL TELL

I hold VEOLIA but follow WATR etc

ALL THE BEST FOR THE NEW YEAR

WATR SEEMS FAIRLY PRICED

VEOLIA GIVES A NICE DIVI

alotto,
Please provide specific details about these "plenty of companies" in these fields. Company names, territories they operate in, etc., and I will happily address your question.

[alotto] 01/1/2023 07:41

There are plenty of companies doing leak detection and remediation.
What is Water Intelligence's strength in the competitive field they operate within?
I like their balance sheet and progression. But considering the size of the company and the premium price how do we know the company will do better than their competition?

ALL QUIET ON THE WATER FRONT

HOLDING IN A TIGHT CHANNEL

[kalai1] 17/11/2022 14:49

Water Intelligence Plc issued a Q3 trading update for the nine months ended 30 September 2022 this morning. Revenue increased by 38% to $54.9 million, already above FY22 as a whole, EBITDA increased by 13% to $9.7 million and adjusted Profit Before Tax increased by 7% to $7.0 million. The balance sheet remains strong with cash at $20.1 million and cash net of bank debt at $4.5 million. The business is still growing robustly and profitably although margins are coming under some pressure. Valuation remains something of a headwind with forward PE ratio at 22.9x in the bottom quartile for the Machinery, Equipment & Components sector. The share price also remains in a 14-month correction and lacks positive momentum accordingly. WATR is a share to monitor for now...

It's looking like a double bottom on the chare with a target of £12. (For those that follow such things)

[this_is_me] 17/11/2022 07:38

Sales, as of the end of Q3 2022, have now surpassed the amount of sales for full year 2021

Still making money despite the costs of rapid expansion. It is all looking good for the future.

[dudishes] 16/11/2022 13:55

Still hold.

Outlook

Water Intelligence is well positioned for the future whether it is characterized by persistent inflation or a shift to recession from higher interest rates. Our balance sheet is strong with $21.9 million in cash as of 30 June 2022. Cash, net of bank borrowings, is $5.3 million as at 30 June 2022. Credit availability under our expanded facilities is $7 million as of 30 June 2022. The terms of the bank debt are favorable with a fixed rate of approximately 4.9% and amortization spread through 2027. Deferred consideration to franchisees from reacquisitions at 30 June 2022 is $13.7 million with payments spread through 2026. Given EBITDA growth and readily available cash and credit, Water Intelligence has sufficient capital to meet its obligations, reinvest in growth and even consider selective acquisitions. With a strong US dollar forecast through at least 2023 and since Water Intelligence generates cash from operations largely in dollars, we are reviewing opportunities internationally that have become relatively more attractive.

In evaluating any tactical changes, Water Intelligence does have operating flexibility. If the medium-run is marked by inflation, Water Intelligence has made significant investments in its Salesforce.com infrastructure that is expected to deliver operating efficiencies in 2023 and beyond. On the other hand, if the medium-run is marked by recession due to rising US interest rates, Water

Intelligence also has the ability to navigate this given its diverse matrix both in terms of solutions covering water and wastewater and in terms of the variety of its customers from homeowners to businesses like insurance to municipal. Both private and public spending for water infrastructure solutions are expected to increase irrespective of macroeconomic trends.

Long-run.We are mindful of macroeconomic variables. However, we remain optimistic about the global opportunities in front of us and management's ability to adjust as we move from short-run monitoring to medium-run tactics. For our long-run outlook, global market demand for water and wastewater infrastructure services continues to increase. To a degree, we are acyclical because of the importance of water and wastewater solutions especially as climate change creates more anomalous conditions that puts stress on infrastructure at all levels - residential, commercial, municipal.

Importantly, as a competitive strategy matter, in a largely fragmented market of local service providers, we are distinguished from our competitors because we have: a well-recognized American Leak Detection national brand; proprietary technology; established US business-to- business channels; an installed base of operations in over 150 locations across the US and in the UK, Canada and Australia; and investments already made in the leading customer relationship management system in the world that will come on line fully during 2023. With these operating attributes and against a landscape of smaller less-adaptable players, we should be prudent as to tactics but confident in our growth plan and ability to capture the market with a platform company as the market leader in our category.

no news but still holding up well

[waldron] 25/9/2022 18:48

Needs some really positive news to put some zest in the sp

strong support at 560p it seems

[this_is_me] 22/9/2022 07:47

Expanding rapidly and also doing so without making losses.

A fixed rate of 4.9% on bank debt to 2027 is really good.

walders et al would no doubt agree
